“The only wishes that will ever change you are the kind that may, at any moment, eat you whole.”

“Wishes are powerful things. You can't expect them to change the world without changing you too.”

“Don’t worry, though, because Prince Hubert is very handsome and kind. That’s all you wanted in a boyfriend, wasn’t it?”“No,” I said.She raised an eyebrow. “It must be. If you had admired any other qualities you would have developed them in yourself, wouldn’t you?”Which was really too much. I put my hands on my hips. “Aren’t fairy godmothers supposed to be nice and make you feel better about yourself?”She rolled her eyes. “No, you’re confusing fairy god- mothers with sales clerks.”

“You can't wish for more wishes or for vague generalities like happiness that are impossible to grant. Your wish has to be something specific enough that I can use my wand to make it happen. Oh, and recently there's been a ban on inserting yourself into the Twilight series. The Cullens are tired of different teenage girls pinging into their story every time they turn around.”

“That's the magic of books. They're never quite the same for any two people. When you read one, you automatically make it your own.”

“The key to happiness - as any good fairy godmother will tell you - is not to avoid problems, but to overcome them.”

“Sometimes love not only lifts you to the ceiling, it also keeps your eyes there.”
